AH64/CH47 Global Support

DLA Aviation Philadelphia is seeking eligible contractors to manufacture and furnish approximately 1,000 line items of aircraft components and supplies for AH64 Apache and CH47 Chinook helicopters under the Boeing Captains of Industry (BCOI) Contract. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting this procurement because the Government does not possess the internal data and manufacturing capabilities necessary to produce these items. Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit capability statements by March 15, 2026, which is 15 days after the notice publication date of March 2, 2026. The Government intends to award this contract to one source or a limited number of responsible sources under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, meaning this will not be a fully competitive procurement. Key evaluation criteria include contractor responsibility, manufacturing capability, and ability to supply the specified National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and part numbers covering avionics, hydraulic systems, fasteners, electrical assemblies, structural components, and various mechanical and electrical items required for helicopter maintenance and manufacturing.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors or current suppliers. The revised market basket document specifies the exact NSNs and corresponding manufacturer part numbers for the approximately 1,000 required line items, providing contractors with a comprehensive inventory baseline for their capability statements. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. Source approval may be required prior to award, though the Government has indicated it will not delay award pending new source approval and notes that typical approval timeframes would not permit such delays. Only approved sources will receive solicitation documents, emphasizing the importance of early engagement and capability demonstration during this sources sought phase.
